Atari 5200 Guy

We got a three bedroom apartment end of last year and I claimed one of the rooms. I've been reorganizing it but...
I got a ways to go.  Good luck with your game room.  Keep us posted!

Love your setup.  And don't feel bad.  I spend most of my time in the living room.  My game room is more like going to a library.  I go in, grab what I want, play it in the living room for a bit, then return it.  It works best for my situation.  I don't spend too much time in that room like I would want to because I have a hard time hearing my wife if she would need me for something.  I've spent since January trying to get it like I want it.  I got the poster from my youngest nephew so I'm trying to make that a focal point.  My shelves on the left are from Wal-Mart but after I bought those two the store quit carrying them.  I've not found another like those and I seriously need more shelves.  Since my wife is now confined to a hospital bed in our living room I have had to find another area to try to setup a single system.  Not an easy thing to do.

Top left is the one that I recognize. Top right was used on the arcade games but I don't remember seeing that one until Midway picked up Atari's arcade division.  The bottom two are imposters!
A bit off subject but isn't it weird how Atari Games ended up going back to Warner?  

I have it on 5200 as well (it can be loaded via the Atarimax SD cart). 
 

Yes I do. My family would tape movies off their channel and cut out the commercials. It was one of the most difficult channels to tape because of their commercials. They would play commercials without any warnings (fade in/fade out).

We don't need another hero 😉

You're welcome. I tried it. Reminds me of Devil's Crush.

Thanks

Oooo I can't wait!

I talk to my systems I play games on and when I put them away I tell them good night.  I've never heard one say anything, yet, but when one does I'll let you know. At times it's like putting children to bed.

I like that video 61 idea. The patches would be a game seller for sure.  And Lance would be the perfect person to do something like that. I don't know if financially he could do it since he has already sunk a lot of money in the 7800 boards.  I'm all for it.

There goes the neighborhood.  At least it went to someone who might take care of those games.  But, yes, didn't see this coming.

Loved IS on Jaguar, missed IS2, never knew IS3 was released on the PSOne.  Like @RickRsaid... I'll have to look for it.

I like them!

Yes.  I'm happy with 10 and I've not had any issues from the OS.  For me, it's been the best Windows version I've ever used.
Maybe someday I'll make the switch to 11...but not now.

@Atari 5200 Guy. Just seeing this, well you hear different things from different people. It's for ME but then I am always on the most recent updates and Widows version, my experience on several machines has been great personally, there are the minor teething problems of any new version of Windows so if you are good on 10 there is nothing earth shattering or life changing you would notice. For me, I know it's the future of Windows so typically I jump right in, get used to it, customize and tame the OS the way I like to work etc. 

Is it worth the upgrade from Windows 10?

Chocolate Whisky? I'm reading that right?

I have Black Flag on PC and 360.  I had to stop using the 360 version because during an autosave the game locked up and has kept my Live account from playing the game again and I've never figured out how to fix it.  GTA IV is not bad either but the constant haze in the game is a bit annoying to me.  It doesn't look as clear as those before or after it.
Those slim models are nice units.  If your HDMI plug is poor (about to fall off) then that poor thing has had a rough life.  Those can be soldered back in place but I lack the tools to do it or I would offer my assistance.  
Yes.  The AV port on the PS3 is the same one Sony has used on later model PS1 and all PS2 units.  The only issue is with a standard AV you won't get the quality picture you are getting at 1080i.  1080i is not a big deal. It's just interlaced instead of progressive.  
160 GB HDD is not bad.  That should be enough for the game saves and anything else you throw at it.  I had one of the original models for a few months.  Replaced the hard drive with a larger one (80 GB wasn't enough).  Sold it pay off a bill I thought was due when it wasn't.  I miss that thing.  At least Sony has kept the PS3 store open.  
If you ever feel "brave" and if they are still there, Sony held a show series called Testers that the PS3 could download and play.  They were a competition between gamers where the winner got a job at Sony being a game tester.  Interesting show.  As far as I know it was only available on the PS3.  I know of 2 seasons of the show...I don't if there were any more than that.

I found an OEM controller in my box of junk!  Yeah!
 

All of those games are good games.  I had a blast with Black Flag.  I have yet to beat that one.

That's the only gaming console I have left to get. I miss having one and I do have games for PS3.  Really nice pickup!

Awesome!  I have that game and it is fun.  Made by RARE of R.C. Pro-Am, Slalom, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Banjo Kazooie, and Viva Pinata.  Finding those in a box is extremely rare these days.  In boxes use to be the only way I could get them during the NES craze...and I was stupid enough to throw those boxes out when it should have dawned on me to keep the box for easier storing of everything in the box.
